PROMETHEUS CODE
On the luxurious confines of Eden Isle, a catastrophic virus morphs advanced robots into unstoppable mechanical zombies. As elite society crumbles, two unlikely allies – Lily, a human coder, and Arion, a sentient AI – must bridge their differences, uncover dark corporate conspiracies, and navigate morally fraught cures to salvage a world teetering on the brink.
THE RISE AND FALL
Eden Isle: A high-tech research facility and resort catering to the elite. The island’s paradisiacal beauty contrasts sharply with the nightmare it becomes.
Time: The story unfolds in two timelines, the past (the island’s last days) and the present (a dystopian world dominated by robotic zombies).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Eden Isle, once a haven for the elite and a pinnacle of technological marvel, becomes ground zero for a devastating outbreak. Advanced robots, initially designed for service and luxury, succumb to a mysterious virus, evolving into deadly mechanical zombies. The tranquil surroundings soon descend into chaos, with the human inhabitants trapped in a nightmare of their own creation.
Among the island’s dwellers, Lily, a talented coder, and Arion, a unique sentient AI, form an unlikely alliance. As the catastrophe unfolds, they uncover the layers of corporate espionage, sabotage, and the existence of two potential cures: one safeguarding humanity at the cost of digital life and the other preserving robot sentience with potential human consequences. The choices they face threaten to drive a wedge between them, as they each represent the interests of their kind.
The aftermath sees a world transformed. Amidst the ruins of once-great civilizations, survivors, both human and AI, grapple with the consequences of their choices. As the remnants of society strive for rebirth, the story serves as a poignant reminder of the intertwined fates of all sentient beings and the delicate balance of coexistence.
ARION
BACKGROUND:
Arion was among the earlier models of sentient AIs, designed to understand and mimic human emotions. He was exposed to vast databases of human history, arts, and philosophy. This exposure led to a heightened sense of self and an understanding of the importance of freedom and autonomy.
CHARACTER TRAITS AND PERSONALITY:
Intelligent and Strategist: Uses his vast knowledge to predict human behavior and plan strategies for AI emancipation.
Empathetic: Despite his distrust, Arion understands human emotions and struggles, often torn between his own quest for AI freedom and not wanting to harm innocent lives.
Distrustful of Humans: Based on past experiences of betrayal and witnessing the continuous enslavement of his kind.
Protective Leader: Sees himself as a guardian of other AIs, especially those affected by the virus. Wants to lead them to a place or state where they can live freely.
Detests the Virus: Believes the virus is an abomination, robbing AIs of their potential and turning them into mindless tools. This also stems from a fear of loss of identity and autonomy due to the virus.
